The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Nadia
Jason received a call while he was driving on the highway. He had to slow the car down at once to be able to take the fall after seeing who the caller was on the screen of the phone. “Harry?” He said, and then he cleared his throat while listening attentively to hear what the Butler was going to say. “Young Master? We found something, I think you need to see this.” Harry said from the other end of the line, and Jason let go of the steering wheel at once while he held onto the phone with his other hand. “Where are you?”“At the location where the shipments were taken,” Harry responded at once, and Jason nodded slowly before grabbing the gear stick. “I will be right there!” He reversed the car at once and changed direction, heading to the location where Harry called from. The road was busy, causing Jason’s impatience to grow, but he remained calm while looking for the best way to maneuver through some of the cars in front of him. “Out of the way!” He barked at one of the st
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Unexpected Reunion
Rose walked out of the mansion a few minutes after she was called by one of the guards at Jason’s instruction. She had a curious expression on her face, and it became a little bit intense the moment she set her eyes on Jason who had a strange smile on his face. “Rose? How are you?” Jason’s face brightened up more the moment he set his eyes on Rose, but she was a little bit confused and ignored his question. “You sent for me.” She said calmly, stopping about three meters in front of Jason who nodded instantly without letting go of his smile. “Oh yes! I have a surprise for you. I am sure you are going to love it. Come on, let’s go!” Jason gestured to Rose to follow him, but she seemed a bit reluctant to even take a step. Jason was forced to turn to look at her when he realized that she hadn't made a move to follow him. “Come on, Rose. This is really important, I am sure you will love it. This is something you have always wanted.” Jason said convincingly, and taking in a deep b
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Man of the Moment
Jason watched the two sisters as they wrapped their arms around each other, glad to have reunited after such a long time. A bright smile appeared on his face, and he began to wish that he had a sibling. The other girls who were awake and close to Nadia’s bed continued watching with keen interest, and at that moment, they were more assured that they were in safe hands since Jason had brought Rose to see her sister, and the doubt they had about their safety began to vanish instantly. Rose whispered some words into her sister’s ear, and even without hearing a word of what she was telling her, Jason could tell that they were talking about him, and within a few seconds, Rose stood up and walked up to him. She refused to let go of her smile while she walked slowly until she stopped a few inches away from him. “Thank you so much! We are very grateful!” Rose didn’t give Jason the opportunity to respond, and she embraced him tightly, shutting her eyes while she wrapped her arms around hi
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. No more Rival
Lord Walker silently looked at Jason for almost a minute, a pleasant smile plastered app over his face. He leaned forward, and cleared his throat while Jason adjusted himself at once, thinking he was ready to break the silence, but he was wrong. “Okay, Grandpa. You have been staring at me since I sat down. Don’t you have plans to say anything?” Jason broke the silence the moment he felt it had lingered for so long, and the old man chuckled before giving him a response. “I never thought I would be so lucky, Jack. I am so lucky to have you as my Grandson. Your parents would be so proud of you wherever they are. You have single-handedly destroyed all the enemies of this family, and there is no rival left.” Lord Walker clapped his hands gently without taking his eyes away from Jason who shook his head at once, but was unable to get rid of the smile on his face. “I didn’t do it alone, Grandpa. Harry was there to help…” “Of course! But you are the brain behind everything, Jack. Yo
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Special Invite
Standing in front of his room the next morning, Jason waited patiently, glad in a grey suit while he looked around the hallway as though he was expecting to see someone. His eyes eventually stopped at his Grandfather’s door while so many thoughts of contemplation ran through his mind. “I don’t think he will be happy if he finds out that I want to go there without him.” He whispered only to his hearing, and then he sighed softly before he was distracted by the sound of footsteps approaching from a distance in front of him. The Butler appeared after a few seconds and Jason cleared his throat while he signaled to him to walk toward him the moment he noticed he was walking toward Lord Walker’s room. “Good morning, Young Master. I didn’t realize that you were standing there.” Harry said as soon as he stopped in front of Jason who sighed at once. “Morning, Harry. How are the girls?”“They are fine, Young Master. Rose refused to leave her sister’s side, she’s been there since yest
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Confinement
There were guards standing in front of the gigantic metal gate, heavily armed and ready to shoot any intruder at sight. Their eyes were everywhere, on the lookout as they stood at various corners in front of the gate. The sight of Jason’s car approaching made them readjust immediately, but they were eased as soon as they recognized him from afar as he wheeled slowly, and stopped right in front of the gate. “Young Master.” One of the guards who came forward bowed gently while Jason nodded in response. “Let me in.” “At once!” The guard turned instantly, and signaled to his partner who grabbed a walkie-talkie with which he communicated with someone from the inside of the vicinity of the building. The gates opened automatically as soon as the button to unlock it was pressed, and Jason drove in at once, looking around through the windows beside him. It was his first time in the military training camp, and even though he asked Harry to give him the address to the place, he
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Desperate Plea
The words from Jason hit Julius like a thunderbolt, and he was forced to keep quiet even though he never intended to. For a few seconds the middle-aged man remained calm, eyes on Jason who was waiting to be certain that he wasn’t going to say any other thing. “Good…” Jason sighed softly, and then he cleared his throat before he continued with a smirk on his face. “Now that I have your attention, I think it would be nice for us to get straight to the reason why I am here.” He paused for a few seconds just to be sure that Julius was paying attention, and continued when he was satisfied with the look on his face. “It’s very obvious that you deserve to be locked up forever, and the key thrown into the ocean, but unfortunately, you are still family. Now, I wonder what I am going to do with you, Julius. Trust me, I want to grab your neck with both hands and strangle you, but Grandpa…” Jason paused suddenly, and a heavy sigh left him. “Did the old man send you? Is he unable to hand
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Viral News
The Butler remained silent for over ten seconds, but the stillness made Jason’s anxiety linger while he approached him with a curious expression on his face. “Harry? Is my Grandfather okay? Where is Henry?”“Lord Walker is fine. Nothing has happened to Ed to your son.” “Okay? So why the long face? What’s going on?” Jason was relieved that his greatest fear was not the reason for the Butler’s worrisome look, but he still needed to know what was happening. “We might have a little problem, Young Master.” “Problem? Talk to me, Harry! You are not saying anything!” Jason became a little bit impatient, and while he waited for a response, he went through his mind at once, thinking if anything that may have been the reason for yeh words from the middle-aged man. “Your parents, Young Master. They are on the news.” Harry said calmly, but his words made Jason confused while he looked at him with a bemused expression. “What the hell are you talking about, Harry? My parents are dead, y

Marry me
It had been a month since Julius was brought out of prison, and everything was going as everyone had hoped for. He had been of good conduct, keeping to the conditions that were given to him by Jason. But that didn’t mean that any chances could be taken with him. His reputation as a notorious criminal who had claimed lives made it quite difficult to trust him. The fact that he had been exonerated from the guilt of his actions was too much grade for him, and it would have been foolish of him to let it go to waste. He had spent the entire month begging for Shirley’s forgiveness, but she kept her distance, maintaining a mutual relationship with him which was based on the fact that they had a child together. Xavier on the other hand was old enough to understand that sometimes things don’t always go the way we want them. Even though he wished that his parents could be together someday, he also knew that his mother was only trying to be safe. She didn’t want to have to repeat the sam
Conditional Freedom
Days turned to weeks, and then to a month. Jason fulfilled his promise to Xavier and made sure he went to one of the best schools in the city. He knew that the boy still thought about his father even though he stopped talking about him, probably because his mind was occupied with school assignments, and some of the things Jason got him involved in just to make sure he stayed away from silly acts. Seated with Lord Walker, Jason waited patiently for the old man to speak, aware of what was about to be heard. “Jack?” Lord Walker leaned forward before he continued. “I know that Julius isn’t particularly the best Uncle in the entire world, but he is still family. I know that this is a very difficult decision for you to make. But you have to do this for the sake of the boy…” Lord Walker paused for a few seconds just to be certain that Jason was listening to him. He sighed softly and continued with a more audible tone. “Keeping him there way cause be painful for the boy even thoug
Reunion
Standing in front of Jason was Clark, the same best friend who turned out to be one of his enemies. He had lost his charm and confidence and almost looked like a better. He couldn’t even look at Jason for more than a few seconds before he bent his face to the ground in shame. It appeared that his outfit was oversized, but that was only proof that he had lost a lot of weight. “Why are you here, Clark? I am sure you didn’t just come to stare at me.” Jason broke the silence between them, staring at Clark with a smirk on his face. Brenda would have asked a few questions, but as soon as Jason mentioned the name of the man standing in front of them, she remembered some of the stories he told him about how his best friend betrayed him and went after his wife. She was only interested to know why Clark was there. “I am here to ask for your forgiveness, Jason. I also want to appreciate you for getting me out of jail.” Clark managed to say with a shaky tone. He couldn’t even look at Ja
I am Pregnant!
It had been three days since Xavier and his mother pleaded that Julius be set free but nothing had been done about it. Jason was taking his time to make a decision about his step-uncle’s fate. It seemed like it was going to take more time before he could be able to come t a conclusion. Lord Walker himself was wondering why Jason had not said anything about it, but he also knew that he was worried about his safety. After seeing and hearing what Julius was capable of, Jason had no other option than to keep the decision pending until he was done with some of the plans he had in mind. First, he enrolled Xavier in high school. He attended one of the best schools in Granada Hills, and the goal was to make sure that the young man didn’t need up on the streets ever again. Shirley on the other hand was going through a rehabilitation process. She was made to speak to someone and undergo struct measures of check which were often conducted to make sure she didn’t go back to her old habi
Release Him
The next day, it was finally time to bring back Lord Walker from the hospital after his recovery. Jason went together with the Butler, Brenda, and Xavier who insisted that he was going to go with them. Not only was he eager to see his mother, but he also wanted to see his Grandfather who almost sacrificed himself for his sake. By the time they arrived at the hospital, the old man was already seated on the bed while one of the nurses attending to him handed him over his drugs and a glass of water. “Thank you, my dear.” He said to the nurse as soon as he was done with his medication while he handed over the empty glass to her. He turned to his visitors and the brightness of his face increased at once, causing him to gesture to them at once. “I know what you are about to say, Jack…” He shook his head, but that wasn’t going to stop Jason from expressing himself. “That was really silly, Grandpa! You almost got yourself killed!” Jason walked up to the old man ahead of the other
Retribution
Xavier hesitated for a while, but he eventually mustered the guts to move. “Go ahead.” Jason urged him as soon as he took the first steps, and he continued moving, eyes on his father who was shocked to see him. Julius could tell that Xavier was truly his son, he didn’t think he needed any DNA to prove that. The resemblance was alarming, and the fact that the boy reminded him of himself when he was about the same age was enough. But he didn’t seem like he was the proudest father at that moment. He was glad that he had been given the opportunity to see his son, but he was equally ashamed of himself. Unable to get closer to the iron bars, he stood where he was, waiting patiently for Xavier to get closer to him. The boy stood in front of his father, staring at him without knowing what exactly he was supposed to say at that moment. The reunion wasn’t as pleasant as he had expected it to be. Father and son remained for over a minute, but their eyes said a lot to each other while
His Father
With their panic rising, Jason and Brenda paced along the hallway, waiting for anyone to come out of the theater. It had gotten so long that Jason had to send for Cara who came along with some guards to take Henry back to the Villa while they continued waiting anxiously. Eventually, the Doctor came out of the theater dripping with sweatballs that ran down his face. “Doctor?! What’s going on?” Jason asked anxiously, but instead of giving him a response, the Doctor moved to Brenda and whispered some words into her ear, making sure that Jason wasn’t going to hear their conversation. Brenda responded with a whisper as well before the Doctor nodded and hurried back to the theater without saying a word to Jason whom he only stared at while he expected him to say something. “Why didn’t he say anything to me?! What did he say, babe? Talk to me!” Jason moved closer to Brenda who looked like she didn’t know how to tell him what the Doctor whispered into her ear. “Brenda?” Jason call
Seizure
Brenda was silent for a while, but Jason was patient enough to wait for a response to his question. Firstly, she grabbed Henry from Jason and made sure he was sitting comfortably on her legs. She took in a deep breath which she let out slowly before she turned to look at Jason. “I am listening, Brenda. What were you guys discussing back there?”“Nothing really. Just girls’ talk.” “Okay?” Jason featured with both hands, indicating that he wanted to hear more details about their discussion. “I thought you said you were not so much interested in her, Jay. Why bothering to ask what we were discussing?”“Me? When did I say that?”“Well, you implied it.” Brenda shrugged, looking at Jason with a smirk on her face. “Just tell me what you guys were talking about back there, Brenda. She could have said something that needs to be verified by me. No other person knows her like I do.” Jason insisted. “Okay, fine.” Brenda sighed. “I was just worried about the way she looked, that’s
Motherhood
The sight of his ex-wife made Jason sigh, his previous countenance gave way for a frown that appeared as he stared at Isabella who managed to push the two guards aside because they let her do so. But they went after her and grabbed her at once, restraining her efforts to get close to Jason or her son. “Jason! Tell them to let me go! Let me go! Let me go!” Isabella continued to struggle with the guards, but she eventually got tired, panting in exhaustion while Jason and Brenda watched her with a little surprised written all over their faces. Henry recognized his biological mother, but it didn’t look like he was really concerned or excited to see her. He just stared at her as though he was trying to recall where he met her. “Tell them to let me go, Jason! Please.” Isabella pleaded, but Jason wasn’t really interested in the words that she uttered. What made him curious was the fact that she looked very unkempt and malnourished. It had been a few weeks since he last saw her, and h
